As many of you may be aware I used to play World of Warcraft. In fact I played it since the original open Beta back in 2004, yeah, I've played it for a loooooooooooong time, since middle school in fact, and I just graduated from High School. I am also a long time follower of Blizzard, since the original Warcraft Series were my first Computer games and I've played and loved Starcraft and Diablo, both. But recently, I have given up on Blizzard since it felt like WoW lost it's heart, and it really was only about grinding and making money by roping in casuals and mainstreamers, and not catering to us die-hard fans. So I stopped playing World of Warcraft, and felt pretty good about that, since that saves me money and time, and I can use that time to play other video games and do other things.
This is why I have to say, I hate you Blizzard. Since yesterday at Blizzcon, they revealed footage for the new expansion, Cataclysm, and even let a few people play through the 2 new races. And I have to say, it makes me want to play again. What. The. Hell! It looks so well done and like Blizzard is actually going back and caring about the story and the gameplay, which is what makes me like games.
The plot of Cataclysm is that Deathwing (The Insane Black Dragon Aspect that has been chained under the earth for decades) has forced himself out of the earth in a veeeeery big way, which has completely altered the landscape of Azeorth. Places are becoming flooded, The Barrens have been completely split in half, another Human City decided to join the Alliance (Though they are cursed to be Werewolf creatures), and the Goblins were caught in the crossfire and their clan has been divided causing some of them to join up with the horde. The new races aren't even what excites me, it's the fact that for one the land will be phased so everything can change when you do things, which can alter everything! The other thing is the fact that they're changing everything in a LARGE way, like literally, the landscape and plot and everything, which means that we will get the Lich King final raid dungeon soon to kill Arthas, so that's out of the way before Deathwing shows up.
Damn it Blizzard, I might have to start playing, I don't have the money for that damn it.

Personally, all the new content was hyped up. I was really interested to start playing again and after Blizzcon decided I am not going back. This game is the most unbalanced death trap I've ever seen. There are mechanics in the game that are constantly broken and when things get changed around nothing ever gets fixed. To add to broken mechanics they just pile new content on top and hope shiny new epics console the players and derail them from crying about anything. I'll see what Aion has to offer as the beta looks promising.
